In addition to three different types of Christmas card, the Institution will this year have for sale a twelve-page calendar. On each page there will be a striking colour photograph of a seascape, several of them having direct lifeboat associations. This will be in addition to the usual pocket calendar.

One of the Christmas cards will have a reproduction of a painting by Mr.

David Cobb, R.O.I., S.M.A., of a service by the Newhaven life-boat. Another will have a reproduction of Meister Francke's 'Adoration of the Child', and the third will have a picture of a boy and a donkey.

Illustrations of the cards and calendars, together with order forms, will be enclosed with the September number of THE LIFE-BOAT..
